Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Wow. It has been an amazing year. Truly amazing. As I look back, read my previous posts and journal entries, I see God's power at work in my life. And I see His love holding on to me no matter what I've done. Amazingly, I still miss 2006. Ah, my P6 class. And now, 2007 is coming to an end.
2007, more than any year before, has been a year of ups and downs. It's the first year where I have truly rose up to answer His call, and have experienced warfare that you could never imagine. And as I read my journal at the point of time when the prayer group was starting, right there, I see God's faitfulness to the end. "The prayer group is strating up, and I am emotionally exhausted. And yet I press on. I press on because I know my God is with me, and He can move all mountains. I look forward to the day I stand before God and give him a good report on souls brought to His kingdom." And then God brought the prayer group to fulfillment. I thought the worse was over. Boy, was I wrong. For I found myself in the crosshairs of Satan.
All out war broke lose on me, temptations come like a flood, trials and long valleys of darkness. So many times I succumbed. Reading my journal, you can literally see what a state I was in. And yet, God's never,ever let go of me. And out of this period of darkness, some of the most beautiful journal entries(no matter how unfrequent), came out. One of them was on 10/8/07. A 6-point entry on how to overcome sin in your life. And through this, God has been leading me to a more specific call. "With this 6 points, you will break people out of bondages. You shall walk with My power, look straight through people's eyes, and darkness WILL NOT be able to hide. You will lay hands on them, and their bondages will break right there. And this period you went through shall be a testimony for Me." I know God had preplanned this dark moment in my life. For what Satan meant for evil, God turned it around for good. And for the rest of my life, I will look back to this period and say, "Amazing love! How can it be?"
Many more things happened this year. So many, yet all, no matter how bad the situation is, demonstrates what a mighty God we serve. One of the definate highlights was Roy's salvation. I stand in awe till this day of what God could do in Roy's life.
Oh, looking back, God's love still takes my breath away. Amazing love. How can it be? This year has been great. Truly great. But next year will bring even more challenges and trials. God has been reminding me a lot of times to expect spiritual warfare on a scale I have never seen before. Am I scared? Well, I'll be lying if i said I'm not. But God is on my side. Who shall I fear? Can all my mistakes, my trials and persecution, angels and demons, can they seperate me from the love of God? For I am convinced, looking back at this year, that NOTHING can seperate me from the love of God. 2008 will be a year where limits will be nonexistent, where God will bring everyone to a whole new level. I am ready to advance.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
For all You have done
Hallelujah
